Old Town: Centre's by rangutan

Dachau - Germany, Bayern After visiting the concentration camp it is worthwhile taking bus 723 or 725 from Dachau main train station to the old city & castle atop the hill (or a steep walk). Exit here at "Rathaus"(city hall). That little house, now a shop, is VERY small. Our ancestors were only 4-5 feet tall!

horourke - Jun, 24 2008 02:06pm This is an interesting aspect of Dachau about which I have never previously thought. Is the original meaning of Dachau something like "summer villa"? davidx - Jun, 24 2008 02:06pm A good picture but it doesn't really tell me a lot about the old city. rangutan - Jun, 24 2008 03:06pm Hugh, the name Dachau comes from Celtic "dahauua" which means valley-of-clay or muddy-meadow (German: lehmige Aue)
